Great recipe, Hubby took over and cooked it for our family last night, we used scallops and fish, we dont have a rice steamer so we cooked the rice in the coconut milk till mostly absorbed then put rice into the veg steamer pot over the lemongrass to finish it off. Worked ok, the rest of the bottle of tequilla went down in shots ... great recipe for a great night...
